The last few days have brought a real surge of gaming news, but one piece stands out particularly strongly: everything indicates that the new God of War may be officially presented as early as April. According to reliable insider Tom Henderson, the announcement was planned "very soon," which fits perfectly with the rumours about the upcoming PlayStation State of Play event. If these reports are confirmed, we could be one step away from discovering one of the most important games of the coming years, and in a completely new edition.
New narrative direction and a surprising heroine
The biggest surprise may not be the announcement itself, but the direction the series is heading. According to earlier leaks from insider NateTheHate, the new installment of God of War is set to focus not on Kratos or Atreus, but on Faye, Kratos's wife and Atreus's mother. She is a character who has remained in the shadow of events thus far, but her story has been repeatedly hinted at as being crucial for the entire universe. The project is said to be led by Cory Barlog, one of the key figures responsible for the success of the modern series. If the information is confirmed, we could be getting a more personal story, centred on events that occurred before the parts we know. The premiere is reportedly aiming for around 2027, which means the project is still relatively early in development, but its announcement could come sooner than we expect.
Gameplay closer to Devil May Cry than RPG
Changes will concern not only the storyline but also the gameplay itself. According to insider Shpeshal Nick, the new God of War may move away from the more RPG-styled gameplay known from previous entries and shift towards dynamic, spectacular action, closer to the Devil May Cry series. This would mean a faster-paced combat system, a greater emphasis on flashy combos, and a more skill-based fighting system. This could be a huge change for a brand that in recent years has been associated with a heavier, more tactical approach to combat and an elaborate narrative. If Sony actually decides to take such a step, it may be an attempt to refresh the formula and attract a new group of players, while also risking backlash from fans attached to the current style.
If the leaks are confirmed, the new God of War could be the biggest change in the series' history — both in terms of the hero and gameplay. Now it's all down to whether the announcement actually drops this month.
